Black Or White

I took my baby on a saturday bang
"Boy is that girl with you?"
"Yes
We're one and the same"
Now I believe in miracles and a miracle has happened tonight

But if you're thinking about my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white

They print my message in the Saturday Sun
I had to tell them I ain't second to none
And I told about equality
And it's true
Either you're wrong or you're right

But if you're thinking about my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white

I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
Sew when the going gets rough

I ain't scared of your brother
I ain't scared of no sheets
I ain't scared of nobody girl
When the going gets mean

Protection for gangs
Clubs
And nations causing grief in human relations
It's a turf war on a global scale
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale
See it's not about races just places
Faces
Where your blood comes from is where your space is
I've seen the bright get duller
I'm not going to spend my life being a colour

Don't tell me you agree with me
Yeah
When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye

But if you're thinking about my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white

I said if you're thinking about my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white

I said if you're thinking of being my brother
It don't matter if you're black or white

Hey

It's black
It's white
It's tough for you to get by
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
(Yeah)

It's black
It's white
It's tough for you to get by
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
(Yeah)

It's black
It's white
It's tough for you to get by
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
